Ron...
I hand loaded and cast my own 9MM stuff and fired t'ousands of rounds of it with no barrel fouling(Too soft) or measureable wear(Too hard)...
The right mix is readily available ,usually free....Used wheel weights..
They pay to dispose of them at the tire shops and would probably be glad to see them carted off..
At least they used to,,,,with the price of metals these days ,they probably recycle,but that is the right hardness for ammo..and probably track pins.
